Weaving together ancient healing wisdom and contemporary care for vibrant animal health and wellbeing.
Did you know...?
Pets encounter toxins every single day through multiple routes — the food they eat, the water they drink, grooming products absorbed directly through their skin, medications and flea / tick / worm treatments given regularly, household cleaning agents used throughout the home, and even pollutants present in the air they breathe.
​
Due to their smaller bodies, shorter lifespans, and specific behaviours (like grooming themselves, licking their paws, or sniffing close to the ground), pets are especially susceptible. These daily exposures can quickly accumulate, increasing their toxic load significantly more than humans experience.
​
Over time, this toxic buildup can lead to chronic health issues such as digestive disturbances, skin allergies, weakened immune function, hormonal imbalances, and premature ageing.
​
But there's no need to feel overwhelmed — I’m here to guide you every step of the way, making it simple and achievable to protect your pet and significantly reduce their toxic burden.

Does your pet have a health issue?
If your pet is struggling with allergies, skin issues, digestive troubles, hormonal imbalances, or a weakened immune system — excess toxin exposure may be part of the problem. By learning to reduce their toxic load, you’ll be helping your pet feel better and live longer.
​
Even if your pet is currently healthy, proactively reducing their toxic load can help protect them from future illness, promoting a healthier, happier, and longer life.
Why reduce your pet's toxin exposure now?
Pets consistently show higher levels of harmful industrial chemicals — such as carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, and neurotoxins — compared to humans. Common sources include pet foods contaminated with glyphosate, packaging chemicals like phthalates, and flea and tick treatments containing neurotoxic ingredients like isoxazolines.
​
Over time, these toxins can contribute to chronic health conditions such as allergies, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, liver problems, immune disorders, and even cancer.
Meet your host, Ruth Hatten:
Animal naturopath | Pet nutritionist | Certified low tox coach
Hi, I’m Ruth — an animal naturopath, pet nutritionist, certified low tox coach, and lifelong animal lover.
For 17 years, I worked as a lawyer. But in 2014, I began studying animal naturopathy and started working part-time in my own holistic pet care practice. Over time, that quiet voice calling me toward a different path grew louder. In 2020, I took the leap and left law behind to devote myself fully to helping animals live healthier, happier lives — naturally.
With a deep respect for nature, I believe in supporting animals in ways that align with how their bodies are designed to thrive. That means real, species-appropriate food… gentle, effective remedies… and reducing the burden of unnecessary toxins in their environment.
Over the years, I’ve supported hundreds of pet parents to improve their animals’ wellbeing through holistic solutions — especially by helping them understand the hidden role toxins can play in health challenges like skin issues, gut problems, allergies, and more.
I’ve trained (and continue to train) in Small Animal Naturopathy, Nutrition for Companion Pets, Herbal Medicine for Pets, Canine Myofunctional Therapy, and various energy healing modalities. I also work with pet brands to create natural supplements and foods grounded in wellness and integrity.
I created Low Tox Pets to empower you with the knowledge and tools to protect your animal’s health in a modern world. Because when you reduce your pet’s toxic load, you open the door to deeper vitality, resilience, and joy — for them and for you.
